Transparency alternatives to BUSY Online
Other Accounting vendors we measure, sorted by how much they publish that BUSY Online does not. This is a comparison of disclosure, not of features or fitness.
12 shown of 71 that differ from BUSY Online on at least one criterion we measured for both. Public transparency score, not a product or security rating.
BUSY Online has 10 gaps in what we could measure: Data processing agreement, Subprocessor list, Data location stated, Status page with history, Public pricing, Certifications named, Uptime SLA with a figure, security.txt (RFC 9116), Notice before subprocessors change, Named privacy contact. The column “publishes and BUSY Online does not” is the one that closes them.
